Funender.com admin deleted my artist page and locked me out

[MIKE BURN]

Is this great or what?



I even don't know for what, maybe for being a real musician with a instrument or something like that.



First my BB-Postings over there did not appear anymore for other visitors,

then I was locked out from my artist-admin account without any notice and without useful reply by Funender-Admin.



Now this morning I realized, that my whole artist page at Funender was deleted by Funender-Admin, without ANY notice or reasoning.



I think this is not only gross, it is as low as you can get.



Spread the word though and be careful, that you don't lose your Funender artist pages in case you positively tried out this "service".

well, i don't have a music site there, but they shouldn't have banned you even that short while not being able to edit your content, because that's not what you sign when you get into a music site, you have your musician rights and if they're a legal serious music site they DO have to tell you.



i'm sorry MIke, ya know

Mike..i need to stay calm when talking about funender but i will tell you one thing...Funender (Rashad Stiggers) is a total and complete liar. You are just one of the many who have been the recipient of his stupidity and power trip ego and manipulation that he uses to sway peoples thinking by telling outright lies...If you have a site on his server you are better off leaving it and telling anyone you know to leave it...i personally support all musicians and forms of music but I personally as a boycott listen to ZERO funender sites..like that make a difference but makes me feel good....many people on mnay boards can attest to the fact that Funender is a "real piece of work"..................Ok Chris..i will go back to my nice self now lol

[HatefulMusic]

Never been to the place. Probably never will.

Mike,



I just posted a thread over there asking WHY you were banned. Let's see how long it takes for them to delete it and ban MY account!



A place where the fun ends!

This might be a blessing in disguise, Mike.



Now you have more time and energy to give to better OMDs and bbs.







I think Funender shot themselves in the foot.







Again..............

[MIKE BURN]

Priscilla, you got that right.



This is not acceptable. I signed a contract and will show Rashad Stiggers how contracts work





Damien Project... thanks for the insight, aren't you banned as well from Funender?



Theo, according to Alexa, Funender is the 2nd. highest ranked after Soundclick, so I thought I give them a try again....



Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark!!!!!



Your post has gone....... LOL





Drooly : ))) You got my mail about the mix yesterday?

I may finish that thing today ))

Yes Mike - I got that email, and Thank You....





But (very important).!! - as I mentioned in my original email, it's not a re-mix that's needed...



I would just like a bit of re-mastering on the existing mix... - to give the track a bit more "sparkle".....

[bbchris]

When a place has so much bad press, it really doesn't matter how 'high' in the charts they appear. I don't think this ending~of~fun place matters too much.



Come on Mike, have you heard anyone say bad things about ic-musicmedia? Or soundclick? People might comment on what they 'like' but no-one is saying the owners of those sites are liars!



Yet we constantly hear about 'funender' blah blah bad things blah blah lies blah blah banning people for no reason blah blah

Enough said.

[droolymutt]

Second highest at Alexa?





With only 601 signed-up Artists?







I wonder how they do that...







hmmmmmmmmmmm.....

[markhewer]

It's a pathetic portal promoting poor pompous pions... probably!

[yidneth]

drooly, they are so high in the rank because alexa tells you how much traffic you got, if you have a MESSAGE board with many visitors and in there, you have a high ranking, as easy as that.

[MIKE BURN]

BB-Chris



Well, sometimes I do like to disagree with you.

In this case, I really prefer giving Funender a bad press,

instead of letting hard working artists build up all their

promotion around this place, just to be banned completely

(incl. artist page) for saying "I think your lyrics suck".



People really have to be warned here.



And one more... no site deletes a Mike Burn artist page or one of my friends without any notification and going into deep trouble for that







Droolymutt.......... HUH?

I already did new drums and played guitars?????



*kidding* I only de-noised 4 days long the whole thing

and will come up with a sparkling mix, compared to the original.

I really do hope you'll like it, since I do not intend to start from scratch again! :LOL I think I will be finished today (6 hours or so), hopefully you're online to hear the result.





Priscilla,



even with a high traffic messageboard (in fact Funender lost traffic, just watch the second page with posts from 3 days), you don't come into the 20 thousands ranking at Alexa.

This equals around 15,000 unique visitors daily, hence I do not see 15,000 people on the Funender board and also the view-count of page #1 doesnt exceed the 800 limit.



This are the traffic stats for Funender:









There IS something wrong, or let's say there are not real people responsible for these curves.

[MIKE BURN]

I just received the answer from Funender to my "WHY did my artist account go and WHY are my BB-Board postings not to see for the public?":

Hello Mike, this is all I will have to say. I tried to work with you, I tried to cooperate and understand your views, I tried. But your Slandarous remarks, spoofing emails, and other illegal activities should be reported. Yes I am aware of the emails you sent to members that you didnt think I was aware of and have copies of all of them. I even have a copy of the spoof email you sent me comitting suicide, do you realize you are breaking the LAW? funender.com can deny free service to anyone, you have done nothing but spread lies and bash the service, and you are asking what you have done wrong? There is nothing you can say that will change my mind since I have all of the evidence I need to justify my actions. Good bye Mike

So, basically I'm the bad guy.



HAHA Of course.



I wouldn't have expected such a crapola from somebody running such a big site. Looks like he fears me for some reason, since I even am not allowed to write to his artists "your music is great".

Hey Mike. These are some heavy accusations. Is this stuff true? No one makes up stuff like this for kicks, man. I do know how you can get!
